Young Life Cans & Bottles Run
The Young Life Barossa team will be rallying together on April 16th to collect local Cans + Bottles donations to raise funds that support us in taking local Barossa young people on the annual Young Life Australia national Summer Camp.
We are calling out to anyone who has a stash of cans and bottles that they haven’t had the chance to take to the recycling plant.
We would love to take these off your hands! If you are keen to support us in this venture of supporting young people in our local community, then please get in contact with Tiffany Voigt at tiffanyvoigt@younglife.org.au to organise a collection of your donations on the morning of Wednesday April 16th.

The Biar family divided: Emigrants to two continents Speaker: Geoff Saegenschnitter While researching and publishing the Biar family history in Australia in 1971, Geoff Saegenschnitter discovered that the Biar family were of Wendish origin rather than German, and that two Biar brothers left their home in Groditz, Saxony within two months of each other in 1854. One went to Texas USA and the other to South Australia, never to see each other again. Quite by accident, 41 letters from SA to the Biar family in Texas from 1881 to 1926 to successive generations of the Biar family were found and have been translated. Today, Geoff maintains contact with the family in Australia, USA and Germany and is a member of the Wendish Heritage societies in SA, Victoria and Texas, and his presentation will focus on all these aspects. Geoff is the current Chairman of FoLA.
All welcome, supper included, $5 Donation

The Southern Barossa Lutheran Church (SBLC) Ministry Team was established in September 2024 and has been meeting monthly ever since. This dedicated team is made up of individuals who are passionate about empowering and equipping our community to share the love of Jesus with everyone.
The team members are representative of all the congregations and include: Jo Herrmann (Leader) Rachel Brown (Confirmation Coordinator) Merv Storton (Pastoral Care Team) Mark Pfitzner (Worship Team) Travis Schiller (Children’s Ministry Team) Sophie Wilksch (Young Life) Jarome Graetz, Carly Kroehn, Angela Lange, Ian Lange, Tim Kroehn and Dave Zadow.
The team started by reviewing the current ministries within the SBLC region and were surprised by the wide range of opportunities available for our community to serve the Lord and others. This exercise provided a valuable starting point for future planning.
The next step was to identify the key areas and age groups that need attention and focus. As a group, it was agreed that the children and young people of SBLC should be the primary focus. By building relationships with them, we hope they can grow together and deepen their connection with the Lord.
